Locked-out loop (21 posts)

I've setup a redirection link by accident on my localhost which directs to an online version which I'm trying to setup, however that online version directs to the localhost, so I'm kind of locked out with no way of logging in to my wp-admin. Is there a way I can manually change or reset this setting on my local files & if so, which file and how?

hmm if we disable redirection plugin that should allow you to get back in but I am not 100 percent if it will delete all your redirects or not. I am really struggling to see why removing the htaccess file doesnt work.

If you want to try removing your redirection plugin manually that could work. NOTE if you do this you could loose all your redirects. Make sure you backup the db if you try this.

Ok.. so I removed the code you pasted above from the htaccess files on both my server and the new one I am attempting to move the site to.
Now the 'locked out' redirect loop is broken.
But the wp admin on my MAMP server is redirecting to the new server which is allowing me to log into WordPress but its a new install and not reading my content.. and I still cant log in to the backend on MAMP.. any thoughts?

Yeah I did thats whats strange.. I just deleted the one out of MAMP and copied the same one from the new server in.. now its not coming up with the admin screen when i direct to wp-admin but redirects straight to this:

I think thats exactly what it is.. My brother (who posted the first comment) tried to change the url in the options section of the wp admin backend of the MAMP site which is what set off the loop. But I havent been able to log into it to change it back... This is my first website so im sorry if (for) being really silly!
I think I just duplicated the site
